Date: Sat, 19 Nov 2022 12:45:42 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221119124542.50759-1-Brian.Inglis@SystematicSW.ab.ca> (raw)
The following package has been upgraded in the Cygwin distribution:
* vttest 20221111
Tests the functionality of a VT100 terminal (or emulator thereof).
Tests both display (escape sequence handling) and keyboard.
The program is menu-driven and contains full operating instructions.
To run a given menu-item, you enter its number. You can run all
menu-items (for a given level) by entering an asterisk, i.e, '*'.
It has been enhanced to support and test many xterm control and status
escape sequences, and it is mainly used nowadays for testing emulator
compatibility.
